- [Voiceover] You'll notice I've stayed…in the Drawing Demo 02 for convenience,…and we're still in our WD Demo project.…Now, one of the lovely features of AutoCAD Electrical…is the ability to export out the entire project…and its data to an Excel spreadsheet…and other proprietary applications, as well.…So, I've gone to the Import/Export Data tab on the ribbon,…and I'm looking at the Export panel.…I'm looking at exporting my project out to a spreadsheet.…You'll notice though I can also send it out…to Autodesk Inventor, I can send it to Unity Pro,…Wago or Phoenix Contact, as well.…

So, there's tools there to go…to other proprietary applications, as well.…I'm gonna select To Spreadsheet like that,…and I'm just gonna go for the General data category,…which will select everything with asterisks…on that list below.…I click on OK,…and now I want to do this for the entire project this time,…not for the active drawing like we did in previous videos.…It's gonna go out to an Excel file format,…and the Location Codes, I'm gonna do all of them.…

AutoCAD Electrical is a powerful AutoCAD add-on for electrical designers and engineers, offering automated drafting tools for designing wiring, circuiting, PLC modules, panels, and data and schedules. This is on top of all the benefits that AutoCAD brings to the table. This course provides the novice user with the training required to use AutoCAD Electrical quickly and effectively.

Shaun Bryant demos the user interface and leads you step-by-step through learning how to draw the kind of precise, measured electrical drawings and schematics that form the basis of design communication in electrical engineering the world over. Learn how to design wiring diagrams, insert components and terminals, use PLC symbols in ladder diagrams, perform point-to-point wiring, create custom symbols, add annotations like title blocks to drawings, and run reports. In the final chapters, Shaun shows how to set up AutoCAD Electrical to your liking by adjusting settings and customizing the built-in templates, and demonstrates how to reuse, copy, export, and verify drawings.

Topics include:

Creating electrical drawings

Inserting, editing, and numbering wires

Inserting components

Using 3-phase ladders and components

Working with saved circuits

Using the Circuit Clipboard and Builder

Editing, moving, copying, and deleting components

Copying installation and location code values
